"The Phone Book".
In all the times I've had a home phone I've always excluded myself from being listed in the BT "phone book".
Despite which I've always been sent a copy, usually along with a "Yellow Pages". In times-past these were thick tomes - an inch and a half - so were invariably used to optimise the height of desktop PC monitors rather than serving any sort of reference. I still keep receiving "Phone Books" despite not having been a BT landline-customer for a decade or so. Their current offering is a bit more than 1/4-inch thick... I guess this really demonstrates the demise of landline-tethered communications. Why would you pay for a BT landline-phone at £20/month plus stupid per-minute voice-call rates when you can get unlimited calls/texts on a mobile for £20/month?? |
